New submission from Elizabeth Myers: When slicing strings, IndexError is not raised when the slices are out of bounds, even for negative indexes. Like so:
>>> "test"[-1000:1000] 'test' >>> "test"[-1000:1] 't' >>> ""[-100:100] '' This seems more like a bug than useful behaviour to me. ---------- messages: 270147 nosy: Elizacat priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Slicing strings out of bounds does not raise IndexError versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27479> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
